DEDICATION OF MEMORIAL PLAQUE ON SEPTEMBER 24,2017.
REMARKS BY KEELS DICKSON, PRESIDENT
September 24, 2017
That the Builders turned fifty the other day and that we have suddenly arrived in our seventh and eighth decades I find arresting at best. Given all that aging pulls in its tow, it now seems timely and fitting that
we take a moment to consecrate the memory of loved ones lost.
And so today, we dedicate a memorial plaque that we solemnly pledge shall stand in perpetual
recognition of Builders who live on in the hearts of us all.

Prayer
Almighty and eternal God, we thank you for all our days and for the many people who have blessed us throughout our lives. We especially remember and give thanks this day for those who have fellowshipped and served among us who now rest in you. We thank you for sharing them with us and for receiving them with your love. We thank you for the ministry of the Builder’s class within this faith community; for their deep and caring friendships; for their sincerity of purpose; their focused desire for learning and for their strength of commitment to ministries of compassion and service as a class and as leaders in this congregation. May the plaque we have dedicated today serve as a constant reminder of all these things. May we also each dedicate ourselves anew to your love and work of compassion and mercy. And grant that we, with all Your saints may be united in the full knowledge of your love and the unclouded vision of your glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
